This one has hit me real hard. The Dukes of Hazzard has been my all time favorite show. Bo and Luke provided the action, Daisy provided the eye candy, but no one provided more laughter than Rosco P. Coltrane. A true legend and Icon of the 80's. RIP James "Jimmy" Best.
Did you happen to notice when Bo/Luke/Coy/Vance were doing farm chores they were bare chested? Oh they were providing eye candy for the ladies too believe you me!
James Best was truly the best, normally you don’t like the “Bad guys” in TV Shows but the way he was scripted and how he was a natural at the character people actually loved him! He was born to be Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane
Sir: Thank you so so much for making this. He was a great guy... I wish I could have had the chance to meet him before he died... Thank you again. R.I.P. James Best.
I saw James Best in the film "Sounder" (1972), where he played a sheriff in a serious role, and I was waiting for his Roscoe laugh to come out. RIP James Best
Legendary. I could watch this all day. Especially the clear resolution clips that are post 83'. If you saw this show back in the 80's, it meant that the week was done, you had eaten dinner, and Saturday morning cartoons were on in 8 hours. There were many times I remember begging my P's to bring me home in time on a Friday to see Bo and Luke Duke. Time is a thief. Fuk me.
Ain't no other actor's death hit me as hard since John Ritter. R.I.P James Best. You were always my favorite in the show. I would not and to this day, watch an episode that he isn't in. It just wasn't Dukes of Hazzard without him. It was like a little bit of soul was missing. He WAS the show. And always brought the best.
MsDoctorWhoFan1 ....big fan of John Ritter here as well. One of the best physical actors there were. Remember the episode of Three's Company where Jack has to take the tranquilizers? that episode is my absolute favorite one.
My parents named my pup after this man. he just passed this morning. I never knew who Roscoe was but I'm glad my pup was named after such a great character.. the personalities are almost identical. you will be missed little buddy..
Rest in Peace Roscoe..your comical Gui..gui..guie..always made me laugh..and you will surely be missed..but at least your back with your little fat buddy now too..RIP James Best..
Im 16 and I personally didn't find anything racist about the good old duke boys, also watched every episode ever made. Edit: now 19 and still, nothing discriminatory about the show...
I'm now 34 and black and this show has and always be a time less classic and it is very funny and i don't ever think its racist even when i was a knee high youngster same for the Smokey and the bandit, just because you see a rebel flag on certain things doesn't mean the people are racists hell a White fellow whom wore a rebel flag greeted me at the casino, back in those days blacks want whites to be one come together type of America cause this country should be able cope together and get along with each other and put our "differences" aside regardless of your political sides, religion, and other stuff of life. But in all we stay connected in a possible way. God bless us all.
While the first few episodes had him as a more serious character (he even shot a guy), I like the one more from when the series found its grove. James Best, thank you for creating such a wonderfully funny character.
I was just a kid and his hot wheels . Then this show premiered . My favorite television show of all time ! Was there every Friday night to watch like clock work !
olikat8 Hahaha,yep you're exactly right. Sorell Booke could even speak multiple languages,yep they were smart alright and even worked out some of their scenes together on the show. Hahaha,+1.
71 Plymouth. On the reunion bbq they had, Rick Hurst (Cletus Hogg) said Sorrell and a guest star even did a scene in Japanese one time and he was like I don't know Japanese...
I remember watching this and Fraggle Rock same period, I know this started in 1979, but it ran into the 80's great stuff. I can almost smell the deep fried chips on the go for dinner. :)
James Best was the most famous actor on the show. They were very excited to be able to cast him. He is the reason I got into law enforcement. I quote him all the time. He was the best. He had a perfect last name.
Best dam show in town. Good ol southern humor. It was better than the stupid liberal crap these commies put on the tube today. Bring back the series, un altered and unedited. FJB!
Just like pro wrestling needs both faces and heels, Dukes of Hazzard needed Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane. R.I.P. James Best. And thank you for your service in WW2.

"I'll slap the shit out of him and then slap him for shittin." That's freakin hilarious.
Anyone know what episode he said this in
@@trentendean7913 That wasn't in any episode...
Rosco and Boss where funny to watch
James Best served honorably in the United States Army Air Forces as a gunner on a B-17 bomber during World War II.
really?! that is awesome! I respect him so much more!
Sir: Thank you so so much for making this. He was a great guy... I wish I could have had the chance to meet him before he died... Thank you again. R.I.P. James Best.
Your welcome. Thanks for the nice comment.
Packer Owner Yessir!

R.I.P James Best. You played my favorite character on Dukes of Hazzard, Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane.
Agreed. He was my favorite character as well. R.I.P.
I am so sad he is ded
He was the whole reason I watched the show
I loved Roscoe he was always funny
My parents named my pup after this man. he just passed this morning. I never knew who Roscoe was but I'm glad my pup was named after such a great character.. the personalities are almost identical. you will be missed little buddy..
My friends dog is also named after him. She sent me this link this morning and told me this is who her dog is named after
James Best saved the show ... he was awesome! May he RIP! (1926 - 2015).
RIP Roscoe. You will be missed by many!
My heart is breaking knowing that James Best is gone .:'(
They’re 33 dipsticks who didn’t like this video
Xander Kristo now 43
"Everyone around here is a dipstick, except for me." You tell 'em Roscoe!
Bassett hound named Flash..............classic
Yet that dog didn't do shit.
Rest in Peace Roscoe..your comical Gui..gui..guie..always made me laugh..and you will surely be missed..but at least your back with your little fat buddy now too..RIP James Best..
Happy memories. Thanks, Mr Best, much love.
Out of all the comedic characters, Roscoe P. Coltrane has to be my favorite.
RIP James Best
In memory of rosco. Me and my best friend loved this show
Im 16 and I personally didn't find anything racist about the good old duke boys, also watched every episode ever made.
Edit: now 19 and still, nothing discriminatory about the show...
Hateful people can always find a way to hate someone
I like white snow

Some people had a problem with the Confederate Flag on the General Lee
@@robertrodriguez787 meh, it's only been made an issue in recent times.
I loved this show when I was a kid loved rosco and his sound affects they were hilarious rip rosco you are missed
RIP Mr. Best. Gonna miss him. Favorite sheriff ever!!!!

This guy was such a great and hilarious actor. RIP James Best...
James Best and Sorrell Booke, in real life, were the total opposite of the characters they were best known for...
What do you mean?
They were very intelligent, very altruistic.
olikat8 Hahaha,yep you're exactly right. Sorell Booke could even speak multiple languages,yep they were smart alright and even worked out some of their scenes together on the show. Hahaha,+1.
71 Plymouth. On the reunion bbq they had, Rick Hurst (Cletus Hogg) said Sorrell and a guest star even did a scene in Japanese one time and he was like I don't know Japanese...
James Best was great! I love that gag at 1:18--Roscoe tries to be a badass cop, but literally ends up on his ass.
and he politely closes the door to the oven lol
Rip Roscoe and Velvet ears
Bo and Luke were my Childhood Heroes... But Roscoe made the whole show. He was incredibly talented. James was the Best
I remember watching this and Fraggle Rock same period, I know this started in 1979, but it ran into the 80's great stuff. I can almost smell the deep fried chips on the go for dinner. :)
Doctor ! BJ and the Bear...A team....Buck Rodgers... Battlestar Galactica... Super Friends
A good ole actor in a good ole show!
I named my dog Rosco P. COLTRANE, It's on his papers.
Wow how cool
Not Flash or even 'Velvet Ears?' 😄
"Good news, good news, my fat little buddy."
smilncynic
My favorite line by Roscoe
I remember this used be on Saturday t time loved it.. This is Roscoe p coltrain
Rosco p Coltrane will always be one of my favorite fictional characters.
R.I.P..to the best actor who ever played in the Dukes of Hazzard. 💐💐
James Best 👮♂️ 🚓
At the end of most shows Roscoe was like "Cute, cute, cute, cute!"
This was great episode,thank for uploading!!
Thanks man....Roscoe was something else...hilarious most of all.
James Best a great actor, loved him in Audie Murphy westerns and many others. A karate expert as well.
Sheriff rosco was funny.
His laugh was funny.
Plus, his classic insult dip stick.
1:22 I just love that Rosco closes the oven and sets the chair upright.
RIP Roscoe :(
James Best ol Rosco always put a smile on my face but the we quirky sound he made caught on & I got picked on. 😊.
Roscoooooee P. Coltrane!!!
James Best was the most famous actor on the show. They were very excited to be able to cast him. He is the reason I got into law enforcement. I quote him all the time. He was the best. He had a perfect last name.
James Best wasn’t always comic relief. He had a few leading roles in the 50s and 60s.
That bloopers cut killed me lmao
RIP Roscoe I love him I love him...
“Stuff em and cuff em”
Me and my best friend love this show. Back in high school
I miss this so much
In our hearts 4 ever!!
Loved this character as a kid, realize the actor was a comedic genius now.
RIP sir, you were comedy gold!
This show never had been taken off the air it was more wholesome the Kardashians and teen moms
I am now 18 years old and I will never be able to meet him 😢😭😭😭
Happy heavenly birthday! A brilliant actor!
Best dam show in town. Good ol southern humor. It was better than the stupid liberal crap these commies put on the tube today. Bring back the series, un altered and unedited. FJB!
He had the perfect last name. "Best" ever! RIP
Roscoe P Coltrane: COO COO COO!
real star of the show, old rosco kicheeheee
Can you imagine trying to make it through a scene with James Best without losing it?
Omg right?!?!?!? I'd lose it every time...coo cooo.....lmao
RIP James Best
Rlmao . He was the best actor in the show
I loved the dukes of Hazzard so much I am going to always remember him from Jessica Dakota Harvison
Ggggggggggggh
Rest in peace Roscoe , say hi to Uncle Jesse , Boss and Waylon for us
Just like pro wrestling needs both faces and heels, Dukes of Hazzard needed Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane. R.I.P. James Best. And thank you for your service in WW2.
The Rosco of season 1 was a very hard-nosed sheriff.
Rip James Best. Aka Rosco P Coltrane.
My goodness, loved this show ♥️
At 3:25 look at the light bar fly of the car then when he is in the silo the light is on and rotating huh
James Best was pure comic relief in this show. Who knew a crooked cop could be so funny?
I really wish UA-cam didn't pull this show off.
I'm lmao Roscoe is too funny and I love his laugh. He's truly missed
Love James Best. He was the Best.
Velvet Ears ... Awwwww.
Loved this show as kid!
Thankyou😊🇬🇧
2:36, Enos was about to lose it!
Me and my best friend watch this show all the time
I wish I could of met him but I never got a chance 😭But I will still remember him in my heart ❤️
Rosco looks like Elvis Presley
Believe me not but James was a family friend of ours and it was sad when he died for us
A legend Sir! Rest in peace Roscoe!
RIP, Sheriff Roscoe Purvis Coltrane
Great pic at the end.
Haha, this show was so much fun!
This is awesome. Kee-kee-kee (Roscoe giggle)!!
Did anyone ever see him on the Andy Griffith show?...he was a guitarist, but was trying to become an early 60's rock star.
ua-cam.com/video/DN8E7vCfgbY/v-deo.html
He was in a bunch of episodes of the original Twilight Zone, too. He played guitar in some of them. He was definitely a unique character.
Flash ! The fastest police dog never ! Loved Roscoe !
He sure was funny guy on Dukes of Hazzard.
James Best rip so much love from all your fans hot pursuit lol coo coo
I think it's funny how Rosco said he should've known that he was gonna get hit because every time Rosco stops, Enos hits him. 😆
64 dipsticks have no taste in comedy
and/or, they never had a Canine companion.
I love Rosco
Grratiest show ever.
gihgihggooo! that's the closest I can come to it online!!! HOW DO YOU SPELL THAT?!?!
R.I.P.
The Legend.
